2B Jorbit Vivas: 0-for-4, BB
CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, 2 SB (10), CS (1), 2 BB, K
Jones accomplishes his first career 20/20 season (29 HR, 20 SB).
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, R, BB
Rumfield has hit safely in 17 of his last 19 games.
PR Ismael Munguia: 0-for-0
DH J.C. Escarra: 0-for-4, R, BB
This is Escarra’s first appearance since his demotion. You feel bad for him, but numbers crunches are real.
3B Jeimer Candelario: 1-for-4, RBI, K
LF Jose Rojas: 0-for-3, BB
SS Braden Shewmake: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, R, K

C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, RBI, R, 2 K
RHP Sean Boyle: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K
Until Ryan Yarbrough comes back, there can be a battle down here for who the #6 starter is. Boyle owns a 4.32 ERA in 98 innings (88 H, 54 R, 47 ER, 11 HR, 33 BB, 97 K).
RHP Kervin Castro: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
1.44 ERA (31.1 IP, 15 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 14 BB, 41 K). Almost feels meaningless to report on relief pitchers right now!
LHP Jayvien Sandridge (L, 2-1): 1 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Joel Kuhnel: 0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Scott Effross: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Somerset (54-47; 19-13 in second half) (Defeated Richmond, 3-1)
3B George Lombard Jr.: 0-for-3, R, SB (15), HBP
Lombard Jr.’s first stolen base since June 27th. Just one of those things.
CF Jace Avina: 0-for-2, 2 BB
Avina has ten walks in 14 games since his promotion. He is hitting .245/.373/.429.
1B Dylan Jasso: 2-for-4, RBI, 2 K
.280/.344/.456 in 390 PA (14 doubles, 6 triples, 12 HR, 52 RBI, 53 R, 7.2% BB, 21.5% K). Jasso has seven multi-hit efforts in his last ten games.

RHP Mark Leiter Jr.: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
Leiter Jr. could join the team in Texas. My guess is that Brent Headrick is the next reliever to go down to Scranton.
RHP Danny Watson: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
6.16 ERA (38 IP, 47 H, 27 R, 26 ER, 6 HR, 7 BB, 40 K). His streak of walkless appearances is up to 18.

Castillo is 20-for-21 stealing bases this year and 43-for-50 in his career.
CF Dillon Lewis: 0-for-3, SB (8), BB
Meanwhile, Lewis is 21-for-23 stealing bases this year and 24-for-26 in his career.

2B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-3, BB, K
1B Josh Moylan: 1-for-3, BB, K
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-4
His long hitting streak feels like it happened 20 years ago. He is in a 2-for-45 slump. Oof.
C John Cristino: 0-for-4, 3 K
3B Brenny Escanio: 0-for-3, K
RF Anthony Hall: 2-for-3, 2B (6)

Tampa (47-50; 11-21 in the second half) (Defeated Lakeland, 8-3)

.193/.313/.302 in 337 PA with 23 stolen bases in 29 attempts. He has still not finished a day this season with a batting average of .200 or better.
C Engelth Urena: 2-for-4, HR (9), 3 RBI, R, K
Urena sets a personal best for home runs in a season. He is hitting .207/.331/.332 in 393 PA

.305/.413/.491 in 269 PA (13 doubles, 10 triples, 3 HR, 30 RBI, 52 R, 29-for-32 SB). While I thought the 22-year-old could be an interesting sleeper, if you predicted he would have an OPS > .900 on August 2, I would have called you delusional.
1B Josue Gonzalez: 0-for-4, K
LHP Allen Facundo: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Facundo, who has been dazzling with his velocity, wasn’t throwing quite as hard tonight (maxed at 96.6 MPH; averaged 94.2). For Tampa: 1.15 ERA (15.2 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 HR, 5 BB, 17 K).

RHP Hector Moreno: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
To say the 17-year-old needed this is a massive understatement. Montero owns a 29.16 ERA and 10/27 K/BB (that’s not a typo) over 8.1 innings in his professional debut.
RHP Anthony Mena (W, 2-1): 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K
